The EU states that are not, or not yet part of the Schengen area, are Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Ireland, Romania and the United Kingdom .This means that a flight from one of these states to a Schengen state is regarded as an external flight and is subject to border checks, and a separate visa of the respective country other than Schengen visa.
